"The Molina Curse" is written by Charles L. Fields. "The Molina Curse" is book Five of Charles Stone's 'Mystery-Travel-Thriller series', and is the sequel to "Tainted Dish". "The Molina Curse" is uniquely written in a mystery and adventure genre. The layout and design of the book is simple, making thestory easy to read as each page is turned. "The Molina Curse", while being a mystery and adventure book, has also hints of the historical, love-romance genre.

Charles starts the story in Boston, Massachusetts, starting the mystery thriller off with a fresh suspenseful scene, when a mysterious package is left on his desk. The in-between or fillers of the book, before the main plot of the story takes off, are filled with historical facts and trivia, a look into a few character relationships, some having a hint of romance, while remaining suspenseful. As the book progresses and the story plot furthers towards a much needed and wanted trip to Australia with a dear friend, the suspense and thrills of the series only exceed those of the previous books as "The Molina Curse" ends them with a bang.
The mystery-suspense-thriller genre books are normally not my "cup of tea", but I thoroughly enjoyed "The Molina Curse". The suspense of not knowing what was going to happen next with the odd, but intriguing encounters related to the "Molina Curse", left me wanting to read on quickly. I especially enjoyed the historical trivia thrown into the book as well. It left me with a well-described image of where the events were taking place, and my mind could wander into that depicted scene and empathize with the characters.
